Missed first DCS level armor vehicle simulation

I'm wrong or in the last big Newsletter no words about first DCS level armor vehicle simulation that was mentioned on March 2014 NL?

In additional to our traditional focus on aircraft, we are also gradually expanding and improving the ground combat component of DCS World. Not only does this include continued improvements and additions to Combined Arms, but also work towards our first DCS level armor vehicle simulation.

Phant

I don't think there's been any word since. I'm sure it will crop up again sooner or later though... Just a matter of time.

I also remember Wags asking for people with info in the Abrams a while back.

M1A2 will be fantastic, even though it hasnt been 100% confirmed (if I remember right) :(

On top of that, I'd love to see a Tunguska M1 perhaps?

I'd love to see a DCS level tanksim, too. Something like Steel Beasts or Steel Fury would be grand.

And of course the M1A2 has a German gun (^^,)

WoT and WT have shown that there's a viable market for armor simmers, just throw in competitive MP modes in there and stick it up on Steam and the sales are more than guaranteed.

WoT can't show anything regarding armor simming for the same reason MS-Word can't - it has nothing to do with armor simulation

We all know that, but even if 10% of PvP (or whatever it's called) tank players can be lured into a proper armor sim that's a lot of revenue!

No, WoT and WT have shown there's a market for tank themed arcade shooters.

I think the number of WoT players that could be talked into a slow, methodical, hyper detailed tank sim is probably fractions of a percent.

Watch some of the above mulitplayer SB sessions, lots of time with not much happening, even when it is, it's slow and methodical. It's not going to scratch many people's adrenaline itch, certainly not in the same way as WoT.

I would buy any armor module that comes out to DCS, but as penguin said, proper tank Sim has nothing to offer ordinary WoT customer to be interested in. completely different type of excitement.

problems are, if theirs nothing the Module can shoot at in multiplayer,newer fans wont get it.

Just the other day I killed a KA50 and an A-10C from the same BMP2 before being killed myself. And today I killed 2 KA50s from a T-55. So it definitely can't be said that there's nothing to shoot at from CA units.

We need and highly get a semi-beliavable simulation for casual players (who want action and fast in 5-10min from start and spend 30-60min in game) once the EDGE is out.

Speed up the actions, make trees to give cover and concealment, easy way to command platoon or infantry to move, get urban combat possible (AI movement etc) and then easy way to get radio frequency to contact air units if needed etc.

I would not need personally serious damage modeling for penetration, just basic modeling for rear, side, front in hull and same for tower.

There are the other group as well, the RTS fans who are willing to play few hours a evening but they need very easy way to command units, get info and see the map for commands etc.

But how to get RTS and WOT player work together? Other wants to drive where wanted at that moment, not to take commands from others, that is what RTS player so want.

........yup...all kinds of things to shoot at if ya set up some good missions in the editor
